Discovery of a Strange New World

Perhaps it's a part of what makes us human, to explore the next frontier, to seek out new worlds... Today, we're excited to share a new planet discovered outside of our Solar System by the Cool Worlds Lab - HD 183579b. Join us to hear about the new strategy we developed to find this object, and why this is a particularly valuable planet discovery.
